UK police formed a wall to separate unruly crowds at a homecoming parade in Barking, Essex. Central to the unrest was escalating tensions between troop supporters and protesters allied with the group "Muslims Against the Crusades" who were heckling the soldiers parading down the street, telling the troops to "go to hell," according to one report by The Daily Mail. The demonstrators were there to call for an end to UK occupations in Muslim countries.

Many demonstrators held signs -- often with the words "We are with the Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan." This citizen captured footage of the protesters holding a sign held that reads "Return of the Butchers:"

I'm from the U.S.A. and I'm a Jew, and I love my country, our founding fathers, and the U.S. Constitution, which I read and study on a regular basis. It sickens me that these Islamo-Fascists disrespect the troops that way. No matter where you go in the world, Islam has one goal: to dominate all non-Muslims by any means necessary. They don't care if you are Christian, Jew, white, black, it doesn't matter. If you aren't Islam, they want you dead. If our countries were smart, we would give them the Holy War that they want and wipe the Islamic scum off the of the planet! It's too bad the liberals don't believe in good vs. evil. Proud Jewish Patriot from the U.S.A.

Muslims should be send back to their country!They are like flies on shit!They are maggots of the world and destroying the Europe Nation.They have no respect in the country that they immagrate and think we owe them every thing.Bunch of welfare case!

Anonymous Jew,I am sure that you have Hitler as your idol in your speech. It is disgrace to hear that people like you are free and not in jails where you in fact belong to. Muslim have no intention of ruling the world but for sure have right to defend themselves when they are attacked. Protest were against war that in fact is illegal and act of aggression.

War itself is not illegal. Problem is, if the government wants to go to war, it becomes legal. Protesting is also legal. However... protesting after the fact is kind of pointless. At that point they are coming back and even if they wanted to apologize or undo anything they felt badly for, they couldn't. Lives can't be given back. Another issue is, not all Muslims are going to be hostile terrorists. The ones people are at war with are the hostile terrorists. When the more peaceful ones capable of coexistence are defending the hostile ones in this manner or other ways, it invites people to group them with them.

I'm a proud American pagan. I take the standpoint of I side with reason. Do I care for the wars going on? Not particularly, but I can't ignore them either. It should have never started but troops who have been at this war have probably been through enough trauma with having to kill and see people die already. Making them feel like scum in addition is counterproductive. All it does is make them hate the protesters and themselves and they are more likely to become the kind of monsters the protesters want to believe they already are.
